I was lucky enough to obtain some cotton fabric samples. :-D
These are described as 100% cotton glazed chintz - and are Made in England. About 1960's vintage. I think they are curtaining fabric and are only just heavier than quilting cotton, with a shiny surface - shinier than polished cotton.
Would they be suitable for a quilt? I have enough to make about 3/4 large quilts, and I am very tempted to use them. What do you think.
Yes you can. They last longer too.
I have one daughter who still has all of the quilts I made for her. I also have another daughter who goes through them until they are rags. She is a clean freak and washes them almost every week. I have to re-sew every seam at least twice, sometimes three times if it looks weak. Ha Ha, my seams are still there, but the material wears thinnnn.

Those are beautiful fabrics. Go for it and share with us when you get the quilt done.
